There are lots to do in the city, and the surroundings are obviously beautiful - "Friesland, waterland" is certainly not a lie. Leeuwarden and the province Friesland do have canals, rivers and even a seaside! Lots of people visit the city before they head off to the small island ‘Ameland’.

Leeuwarden is certainly not a boring city to call your home. It is a very busy city in terms of events and culture and Leeuwarden has been chosen as ‘European Capital of Culture’ in 2018.

Where to rent a home in Leeuwarden?

Renting a home in Leeuwarden is possible in both the historic fortified town and in the (residential) neighbourhoods around it. The city centre is of course ideal for anyone who loves a vibrant city environment and likes to have everything within close range at a short distance. Those who prefer to rent a home in a quieter area can take a look in the Huizum district, for example. This is also a place of historical value: because the old village is located on a mound, we know that there were already people living here before 1,000 AD. Renting your home in Leeuwarden is possible in almost all districts of the municipality, it is just up to your preferences. Do you prefer a busier city district or a quiet suburb, or a real rural area where you rent the rental house of your dreams? Although your budget would have an effect on the area you want to live, Leeuwarden is generally not an expensive city to rent a living space. For example, the monthly rental prices are significantly lower than renting a home in Groningen or most other big city in the Netherlands.
